Dear users, today we have a very personal request. We have decided to offer our learning materials free of charge because we believe in an open, pluralist economic science that is available to everyone, worldwide. We do this without advertising because we want to remain independent of commercial interests. But our commitment to independence and open access also has its price. Every year we have large costs for programming, staff and to support our authors. If everyone reading this gave a small amount, we could keep Exploring Economics thriving for years to come - but 99% of our users don't give. So today we ask you to protect Exploring Economics's independence. The heart and soul of Exploring Economics is a community of people working to bring you unlimited access to high-qualitiy, economic learning and teaching material. Please take just a few moments to help us keep Exploring Economics going. Thank you!

The Future of Heterodox Economics
The Schwartz Center, 2021
When three great economists meet to discuss the current state and future outlook of heterodox economics, this is what ensues: A fascinating debate about the current state and future outlook of the interaction of multiple schools of economic thought, and what they have to offer in meeting the pressing tasks of our day.
Comment from our editors:
All these three are pall-bearers of some kind of meta-approach to economic thought, i.e. of analysing the modi operandi, the linguistical concepts and sociological framework adopted by researchers in economics.
Deirdre McCloskey is one of the most eminent feminist and philosophical economists in the science. Anwar Shaikh is a prominent scholar of classical political economy in general and Marxist political economy in particular. And Stephanie Kelton is one of the most outspoken proponents of Modern Monetary Theory.
Small wonder, then, that a discussion between the three of them bears rich intellectual fruit.
